Heard a rumor?

I think a little credit should also be given to ROAR for finally opening up that door of thiers a little.

Let me clarify...

Right now the CM36 still won't be legal -- because of a couple of very minor rule conflicts with ROAR (for example, the manufacturer's logo must be stamped or molded into the end-bell under the current rules -- we have a solid aluminum end-bell, so we have always used stickers.)

We will be making some minor changes to the CM36 motor in the future to meet the ROAR rules for Modified.

That said, there is a possibility that ROAR may allow us to grandfather in existing CM36 motors... if we make the changes to the CM36 in the future.

Here I'm speculating, but ROAR has allowed exceptions in the past, and we hope that ROAR will allow existing CM36 motors to be raced under the Modified rules -- there are LOTS of CM36 motors out there, and it would be a boon to Modified racing if the CM36 was allowed to compete.

Absolutely. There were a couple manufacturers that tried to bully ROAR into keeping modified "closed" -- and the ROAR board stuck to their guns and didn't bow to pressure.

Great job ROAR!

I bet that included a lot of childish pouting/sulking, foot-stomping, and whining "It's not fair"...
